commentary...

what NFL player,in 2011,led his team to a 15-1 regular season,that year... answer:Aaron Rodgers,who led a team to a 15-0 record,when the Packers led game going into fourth quarter... he had forty five touchdown passes and only six interceptions(an interception rate of 1.5%),in 2011,and to back up that year,in 2012,he had thirty nine touchdowns,and only eight interceptions... since becoming the starting quarterback for the Packers,in 2008,he has thrown 181 touchdown passes,and 51 interceptions(numbers for his nine overall seasons are 182 touchdown passes,and 52 interceptions)... his overall passer rating goes from 93.8(2008 season),to a mind blowing 122.5,in 2011... he has a streak of five 100.+ passer ratings,in last five years,including this season... now for the lambasting of the pundits:with those numbers,is it Aaron's fault that the Packers had a 8-8-1 record this season??? is it Aaron's fault that the Packers have lost three of the last four playoff games that they have played??? what quarterbacks are real franchise quarterbacks??? Tom Brady,and Peyton Manning??? both have won Super Bowls,but Brady has not won the Super Bowl,since 2004,even though he won three of four,before 2004,but has had a basic .500 record,in the playoffs,including two Super Bowl losses,since then... Manning has a subpar playoff record,but has won one Super Bowl,out of two attempts,but both have Hall of Fame caliber numbers... no arguments from me for that... even though the Packers have had a subpar(for me)season,Rodgers did not disappoint anyone with his play(he was 6-3,in the nine games that he started),and he may be very frustrated with his play,last Sunday,but is it Aaron's fault that the 49ers made enough plays to win a close game??? the Packers need some upgrades,and a lot less injuries,to go further in the playoffs,but they really have a true franchise quarterback,and,in my opinion,the best starting quarterback in the NFL,period...
